ABOUT THIS CONVERSATION:
What is really happening inside local councils, and why are so few people aware of it?
I sit down again with Madeleine to explore how governance is being reshaped through secondary legislation, unelected influence, and large scale local government reorganisation happening with little public awareness.
We discuss media distraction, growing centralisation of power, election postponements, and why local democracy matters more than most people realise.
This is ultimately a call to action. Awareness is the first step. Engagement is essential. Real change begins when informed citizens step forward and get involved.
Enjoy!
Doc
